You can put this solution on YOUR website!
-3 x + 4 y = 1 .............1
\n" ); document.write( "-6 x + 6 y = -3 .............2
\n" ); document.write( "Eliminate y
\n" ); document.write( "multiply (1)by -3
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply (2) by 2
\n" ); document.write( "9 x -12 y = -3
\n" ); document.write( "-12 x 12 y = -6
\n" ); document.write( "Add the two equations
\n" ); document.write( "-3 x = -9
\n" ); document.write( "/ -3
\n" ); document.write( "x = 3
\n" ); document.write( "plug value of x in (1)
\n" ); document.write( "-3 x + 4 y = 1
\n" ); document.write( "-9 + 4 y = 1
\n" ); document.write( " 4 y = 1 + 9
\n" ); document.write( " 4 y = 10
\n" ); document.write( " y = 2.5
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
